Help : Where to find the following otos

**yorky** · 29th Sep 2007, 15:39

Hi folks,
I am looking to purchase some of these otos pictured below either from hobbyists or LFS.
I've re-used the photos taken from AQ's picture gallery courtesy of Valice and Joydiv.

So any information would be appreciated.
C328 had some but all sold out..

**benny** · 29th Sep 2007, 15:43

I was looking at them a few months ago at C328. I believe these are Nannoptopoma spp. and Parotocinclus spp. respectively.

Do drop a note here when you find them as I'm sure quite a few folks here are interested in them as well.

Cheers,

Anybody keen to round up a Mass Order for the above fishes?
Maybe we can consolidate a box although I am not sure how many in 1 box.

**illumnae** · 1st Oct 2007, 11:57

wouldn't a mass order for livestock be really hard? if say 20% don't survive shipping, who are the ones who would go without the fish?

May be you can check out with NKS LFS.

**yorky** · 1st Oct 2007, 12:31

My proposition is a minimum quantity so that if 20% don't make it, each get knocked back with 20% less. That's probably fair to all.

Hi Yorky,
It's the period of the year now where the importers bring in alot of those rare amazon catfishes. Something about the level of the river or season I think. You do not need to MO just drop by C328, NKS or Ben's this few weeks and you will probably pick them up. I just got some rare cats myself within this 2 weeks so just hang tight.

Happy cat hunting!

oh really, new shipment just came? sweet

**yorky** · 1st Oct 2007, 15:52

Michael, thanks for the advice.
Yup, agree that Amazon harvesting is starting again.
Saw any cool otos?

**michael lai** · 1st Oct 2007, 18:06

Nope, but should be in in the next week or so. Those around are the tigers only. I grabbed a couple of rare farawellas just last week, in great condition. Pop on by auntie's place, catfish fanatics wetdream

sorry guys abit off topic.. does any of you know the address of NKS and Ben's?

keen of getting these oto too...

**Quixotic** · 2nd Oct 2007, 08:12

Nah, that's not off topic. Try looking up Neo Kim Suey and Wu Hu in our LFS directory.

However, just a word of caution to anyone who wishes to get them, that the general consensus is they seem to be rather sensitive to any changes in water conditions, and need a lot more detailed care.

**illumnae** · 2nd Oct 2007, 11:11

I was just at Ben's, no rare otos in as yet

For the second fish, so far, not many has managed to keep it long enough past 6 months.

**ccs** · 4th Oct 2007, 21:57

Hey Yorky,
Going into oto now?

**yorky** · 4th Oct 2007, 22:48

Hi CCS,
No choice because no Apistogrammas available for me..

Almost thinking of going into CRS too..

**yorky** · 14th Oct 2007, 17:16

Sigh.. its been more than 2 weeks.. still no sightings of them..

**doubleace** · 14th Oct 2007, 20:54

Think must wait for their season to come.
